Summary
Contrary to what must seem like truth, Eurydice's tender title of Songbird was not one that, so to say, struck a cord with her. Sure, she would hum to herself against the bitter wind, or whisper a melody to the stalking cattails near a riverside when the sun beat down on the earth. And, sure, the feathered creatures which soared in the heavens and rested on the lush, green arms of trees would always call back to her voice as if she were one of their own, but that didn't mean she was a singer. Eurydice wasn't an artist, not like her Poet.
Orpheus disagreed.

It’s not falling out of love, exactly, more like falling into life. Growing older, though they are still young. They go from embracing to holding hands when nightmares shake one of them awake, from sitting down at the table for meals to eating on the go, though where they are ever going, neither is sure.
Or, it’s been ten years since Orpheus didn’t turn around, but Eurydice is starting to wish he had.

Summary
Melody and Poppy stared at the large metal train in front of them as Persephone waved goodbye. Before anyone could blink the twins climbed on.
“Wait for us, Aunt Persephone!” They exclaimed.
“No!” Eurydice screamed trying to pull her daughters off the train when the doors shut in front of her face. The whistle blew once more as the train began and after awhile was out of sight.
“Orpheus, we have to go after them!” Eurydice sobbed, holding her lover tight.
Numb and unable to comprehend the situation, he nods “Okay.”
